    32 got to be Skipton if you guess right - Rem: alphabetical

    And 14 can't be Cambridge, same reason?

    I've just been told off by Mrs Bobblehat for not including her 4 RS's in the stats (which I cajoled her into applying for)!

    Like RosieRooBear, I get some Brownie points for steering Mrs B's savings on an upward path, and she lets me get on with it provided I don't mention it too much  :)

    Update:-



    I'll update/correct as necessary  
    And for more bonus points if I may, below are some details from 35 of my regular savers, the accounts are sorted in alphabetical order of bank/building society, some are currently available, some are NLA. Can anyone guess all 35 accounts?

    Note this isn't an exhaustive list of my accounts by any means, I've deliberately omitted a decent chunk of them as I don't want to make it too easy but I'd imagine some on here may be enthusiastic enough about regular savers to be able to correctly identify all of the accounts.

    Good game! Maybe a struggle to do the lot... but the easy ones are

    9 Loughborough.

    35 has to be Zopa


    I'll leave some room for others to play...
    Both guesses are correct.

    4, 7, 21, 15-20, 26, 30, 33, 35 are correct.

    This could irritate you but all are correct barring number 6 (I don't live in their operating area).

    For number 9 it's specifically the 1 Year Super Saver.

    For 23, it is Penrith BS but which RS? They've done multiple that I could've grabbed.

    For 28 it is Progressive, but which issue?

    For 32, again it is Skipton but which RS specifically?

    No irritation :) ... I'll have another look a little later. You got me on #6, I though #23 would be my weak one!

    This feels like one of those Christmas family gatherings where someone brings along a quiz. Only better.

    (Hopefully it's not just my family that does that and you all know what I mean :D )

    Entirely off topic, but Mrs Bobblehat would be such a great name for a kids' book series!

    @Bobblehat post piqued my curiosity. I note between Co and Du there is Darlington BS, which is currently paying 6%.
    Though I see First Direct is paying 7%. Is it not a consideration because you need the FD current account and the RS only lasts 1 year?
    In terms of my own RS experience, I had the YBS RS from about 2007 till 2014 (I think) when it was closed by YBS. I have no spare money since 2014 anyway to open any RS.
